Get ready, because the Robertson family is heading back to our screens. Eight years after the original Duck Dynasty wrapped its 11 seasons, a new series called Duck Dynasty: The Revival is here. It brings together many of the original cast members. But there is one very important figure missing, which we will talk about. This return to TV feels a bit like going back home for the family, as Korie Robertson shared. They are thankful for everyone who has followed them and cannot wait for cameras to roll again on their new adventures, or maybe even their misadventures.

The original show was a big deal for many years. Now, this new show centers on Willie and Korie Robertson. They are navigating life with their adult children and their grandchildren. All of them are living on the family's Louisiana property. And yes, fan favorites like Miss Kay and Uncle Si are back too. They are ready to stir up some chaos again. It is exciting to see how much has changed and how much has stayed the same. It is a new chapter for the family we have grown to know over the years.

There is a sad note to this return though. Family patriarch Phil Robertson passed away on May 25 at 79. He is not expected to be in the revival. His health had been declining for a while, and he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2024. His son Willie Robertson paid tribute to him on Instagram, remembering his father’s last words to him "You're my brother." Phil's teachings and presence will certainly be felt even if he is not on screen. His history is a big part of what made the family so popular.

The Core Robertson Family Members Are Back For More Adventures And Family Life

Willie and Korie Lead The Way With Beloved Relatives Joining The Fun

Willie Robertson is one of the most familiar faces coming back. He was a main cast member in the first show. This time around, he is stepping into an even bigger role. Willie has been busy since the first show ended. He kept leading the family business as CEO of Duck Commander. He even reopened Willie's Duck Diner in 2017, though it closed again in early 2019. In 2021, he appeared as the Mallard on The Masked Singer. He also started a Facebook Watch talk show, At Home with the Robertsons, with his wife, Korie.

Willie also wrote a book in 2024 called Gospeler: Turning Darkness Into Light One Conversation at a Time. It tells his personal story of finding faith. Korie Robertson, Willie's wife, is also back for the new series. She has written several books over the years. This includes the parenting guide Strong and Kind: Raising Kids of Character from 2017. She often works with other family members on her writing, like her mother-in-law, Kay Robertson. In 2023, Korie and Willie produced The Blind, a film about Phil and Kay Robertson. It also goes into Phil’s infidelity, his struggle with alcohol, and his faith journey. The movie did very well earning $17 million in its four weeks in theaters.

Korie told the New York Post that things feel much more relaxed this time around when they are filming. When the first show started in 2012, she said "We were like ‘we’re going to be on television’ and we got our nails done and put extensions in the hair, the makeup was perfect and all that." But now, she said "We're kind of like, 'OK, the cameras are in our house.' We're so used to it. So we're walking out having our coffee, and the cameras are there." This casual approach sounds very authentic to the family we remember.

Miss Kay, the loving matriarch of the Robertson family and wife of the late Phil, will return for the revival. She and Phil raised their sons Alan, Jase, Willie, and Jep. Last year, Jay Stone, who is married to Phil and Kay’s granddaughter Anna, gave an update on Miss Kay. He said she moved in with them and is "doing good." He added "She's surrounded by her family. There's people in and out constantly. So she's doing well and she's eating well." Miss Kay has had some health problems lately, including falls that led to broken bones. Despite these challenges, it is wonderful to see her back.

Phil Robertson's brother, the always entertaining Uncle Si, is also set to return. Since the original series, Si has really enjoyed being in the public eye. He starred in the short-lived A&E spin-off Going Si-Ral from 2016 to 2017. He also made a guest appearance on Last Man Standing in 2015. These days, Si co-hosts the Duck Call Room podcast with Justin Martin and John Godwin. He also spends time with his wife, Christine Raney, their two children, Trasa and Scott, and his eight grandchildren. Si has faced serious health issues too. He was diagnosed with COPD and had lung surgery in 2022. In January 2025, he was hospitalized after a bad fall. Despite these struggles, Si was ready to get back on TV. Korie said he was the one person who "didn't need any convincing" to film again. "I think he's been ready since we wrapped the last season," she told TV Insider. "Seriously, it's so much fun to get to spend time filming with him. He keeps us all laughing!"

From New Babies To Personal Struggles, The Adult Children Take Center Stage

Willie and Korie’s eldest daughter, Sadie Robertson Huff, is all grown up now. When Duck Dynasty first aired, Sadie was only 15. Now almost 28, she is a mom with her own growing family on Duck Dynasty: The Revival. Sadie has become one of the most popular Robertsons. She is a best-selling author, podcast host, and speaker. She also acts sometimes. Sadie competed on Dancing With the Stars in 2014 and finished as the runner-up. She has released several books focusing on faith, purpose, and authenticity. In 2016, she launched her Live Original brand. She also wrote a young adult novel, Life Just Got Real, which was planned for TV in 2021. Sadie launched her faith-focused podcast, WHOA That's Good, in 2018. In 2019, she married Christian Huff. They have two daughters, Honey James and Haven Belle. In February 2025, they announced they are expecting their third baby.

John Luke Robertson, Willie and Korie’s eldest son, has also come a long way. He married Mary Kate McEacharn in 2015. They have three kids: John, Ella, and Wells. Since leaving the spotlight, John Luke has followed his family’s creative path. In 2016, he wrote Young and Beardless: The Search for God, Purpose, and a Meaningful Life. John Luke is now the camp director at Camp Ch-Yo-Ca in Calhoun, La. He also started Kings Lane Coffee, a small-batch specialty coffee roasting company.

Will "Willie Jr." Robertson, Willie and Korie’s son, is getting a bigger role too. He was a recurring cast member on the original show. Now, Will and his wife, Abby Robertson, will be main characters in the revival. Will has been making music since his time away from reality TV. He is a member of the band LO Worship. Their songs are used as the soundtrack for Sadie’s Live Original brand. Will shared his excitement on Instagram, writing "WE ARE SO BACK!!! We are beyond excited for what is to come with this new show! so grateful to be sharing the name and love of Jesus during this journey!! y’all stay tuned for more to come!!!"

Bella Robertson Mayo, the youngest of the Robertson siblings, is now an adult. After graduating from Liberty University in 2024, she is building a life with her husband, Jacob Mayo, whom she married in 2021. Like many of her family members, Bella is also a writer. In September 2021, she released My Greenhouse, a collection of poems inspired by her first romance. Bella and Jacob are also sharing something very personal in the revival: their journey with infertility. Bella explained in an interview "We share a story of infertility in the show, and that's something that we haven't really shared publicly that much, but that's something that others just don't know. When you just look at someone on social media, you can't know what anyone's going through." They felt it was the right time to share their true selves on the new show.

Rebecca Robertson Loflin, whom Willie and Korie started fostering in 2004, first joined the family as a foreign exchange student from Taiwan. She appeared in only a few episodes of the original show. Now, Rebecca is stepping into the spotlight. After the Robertsons took a break from TV, Rebecca moved to Los Angeles to study fashion. She later came home with an idea. She worked with Korie to launch the store Duck and Dressing in 2019. She also started Me & My, a brand specializing in matching outfits for moms and their little ones. Rebecca married John Reed Loflin in 2016. They had their son Zane in 2019 and daughter Holland in 2021. In November 2024, they announced they are expecting another baby boy.
